- The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2004:024 (ethereal).
-
-
- A number of serious issues have been discovered in versions of Ethereal prior to
- 0.10.2. Stefan Esser discovered thirteen buffer overflows in the NetFlow, IGAP,
- EIGRP, PGM, IrDA, BGP, ISUP, and TCAP dissectors. Jonathan Heusser discovered
- that a carefully-crafted RADIUS packet could cause Ethereal to crash. It was
- also found that a zero-length Presentation protocol selector could make Ethereal
- crash. Finally, a corrupt color filter file could cause a segmentation fault. It
- is possible, through the exploitation of some of these vulnerabilities, to cause
- Ethereal to crash or run arbitrary code by injecting a malicious, malformed
- packet onto the wire, by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace
- file, or by creating a malformed color filter file.
- The updated packages bring Ethereal to version 0.10.3 which is not vulnerable to
- these issues.
